Wow… we are in Poland now! Arrived yesterday afternoon and caught the bus into town (although we got off too early and had to walk a fair way, but was cool to see the town a bit on the way) then checked into our hostel. At the start of the bus ride near the airport it all seemed dreary and grey, the houses were like concrete cubes with windows and I guess reflect the Soviet communist domination after the war. The old town though is fantastic – beautiful buildings and atmosphere. We are staying between the old town and Kazimierz (the old Jewish quarter) only a couple of hundred metres from Wawel Castle so we’re right in the middle of it.
In the evening we walked a fair way into Kazimierz and found a bar, I managed to ask for a cherry vodka (wisniowka) and after relaxing there for a while we walked back towards our hostel and found somewhere for dinner.
I have been taking photos but unfortunately neither Reece nor I have USB cords for our cameras so can’t put any on here yet 🙁
Today we are off to Auschwitz, a bit scary but I wouldn’t want to miss it.
Wow indeed, amazing to think that you are so far away, and have already been to multiple countries! Сделайте моими спасибо бербона.
I’ve just been out in the rain marking out where the first two new vege gardens might be going. 23 square metres worth between them 🙂 If all goes to plan, there will be two more the same size, but that will have to wait a while until a concrete path to nowhere disappears. The weather has been pretty much rotten lately, lots of wind, and much rain too. I wish I had a little weather station so I could measure it (maybe I should add one to my wishlist…)!
I need more updates! I don’t know what my vicarious-self is doing over there 😛
Hope you’re having a fab time.
Sorry, not much access to internet the last few days! In ferry terminal in Dover atm, got handed my pack as boarding bus in London to get here! Will hopefully update you soon 🙂
